Man Utd winger Antony reveals studying Beckham game

Manchester United winger Antony says he studies the games of past club greats David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Antony admits he's trying to improve by studying the likes of Ronaldo and Beckham - and many more wide players.

He told manutd.com: "I always watched Cristiano Ronaldo, he played a lot on the wing here.

"I've always really liked [Lionel] Messi as well, and Neymar, they are the three players I always followed.

"I played with Beckham a lot in video games, and I recently watched his documentary and learnt a lot from it.

"He's someone who has inspired me. I already respected and admired him, and after watching the series this admiration grew even more. He's a player I've followed since I was a child and as I just said, I learnt a lot from watching his documentary recently."

He added, "You have quicker players like Cris, and others like Beckham as well, players who pull the strings more in a game with very good set-piece delivery.

"There are different types of players and different styles of play.

"As I said before, I always try and learn from both types, the quick players and the technique and intelligence of Beckham as well."
